[coarse nimbus]

there is a app called "software manager"

[vast robin]

open the software manager and try installing it from there

[coarse nimbus]

^

make sure it isnt flatpak

[coarse nimbus]

what version of mint you using?

[tender dagger]

22.1

latest fresh install, i just installed it

[coarse nimbus]

have you tried updating repositories in console.

apt update

[tender dagger]

tried

[vast robin]

did you try just installing the dependencies using apt? (i don't know if this is gonna work honestly lol)

[tender dagger]

yeah, it says i have the newest version of them -_-

ibudev1 is already the newest version (255.4-1ubuntu8.5)

[coarse nimbus]

what about installing it from the steam website itself?

[tender dagger]

havent tried

[coarse nimbus]

that could work

[vast robin]

why is it always steam that people have problems with trying to install

[tender dagger]

i want to install from software manager so it can update auto thought

i used to solve this with commanding sudo apt install some dependencies

i dont remember which ones..

[coarse nimbus]

this could work if you havent enabled i386 architecture.

sudo dpkg — add-architecture i386

just make sure you do first by doing:

dpkg --print-architecture

to see if its already there

[tender dagger]

when i print dpkg --print-architecture it says amd64

[coarse nimbus]

sudo dpkg -add-architecture i386

you can try this if you like but i dont know if that would fix it

[tender dagger]

isnt this means i have it installed already?

i think i have to go back to arch ;c

[brazen fjord]

means 64bit. you can also check the same thing with neofetch showing x86_64

[tender dagger]

yes

[brazen fjord]

well it shows in apt show so is installable

sudo apt install libasound2-plugins:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386

[tender dagger]

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

says this

[coarse nimbus]

you can also try this to fix dependencies and try installing steam again in apt

sudo apt-get install -f

[coarse nimbus]

dpkg --add-architecture i386

try it again one more time, i think i might have mispelt it last time

you might need to go sudo

[tender dagger]

i did it

[coarse nimbus]

now do apt-get update

[tender dagger]

apt-get or just apt?

[coarse nimbus]

either works

same error

[coarse nimbus]

try printing the dpkg --print-architecture again

[tender dagger]

amd 64

[coarse nimbus]

try this instead: sudo dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

[brazen fjord]

if you need a deeper update method
<#💬general message>

[tender dagger]

@coarse nimbus i think i fixed it by typing sudo apt-get install libc6-i386

[brazen fjord]

option 1

https://store.steampowered.com/about
option 2
sudo apt install steam
then proton
steam > settings > compatiblity | enable proton
extra here after install
clear ; echo '' ; cat $HOME/.steam/steam/steamdeps.txt

[tender dagger]

whats last one for

[brazen fjord]

mostly a list of recommended software provided by valve
like some native games needs xterm sometimes
example in launch options

TERM=xterm %command%

theres another that shows zenity
example how it works in terminal

zenity --question --title="tech tip" --text="UwU" --no-wrap

[tender dagger]

btw, how can i uninstall steam completely

[tender dagger]

like ANY kind of things belong to it

[brazen fjord]

usually like sudo apt purge steam
may need asterisk *

[tender dagger]

and disabling 32 bit etc idk

[tender dagger]

is it gonna disable 32 bit things, all of the dependencies etc?

[brazen fjord]

no idea

[tender dagger]

okay ty
